Story Behind the Song
On Grand and Ninth, across from the Embassy Hotel there is a cozy little watering hole. Norma Desmond's double walked in every evening for her one drink and close-up.
She wore amazing outfits, velvet gown, hat with feathers, fur lined coat and never said anything we could hear. She had her exact spot ready for her when she arrived. All conversation stopped when she came and when it began again, it was all on the same line. Who was she? Was she once famous? She must have been beautiful, not that she wasn't now, in her ancient, dusty way.
Lyrics
A7
Plush Lush
set my watch by your arrival
you ain't got no rival
in your feather boa make you look like a queen
Plush Lush
drinking in the good life
you can't make a good wife
Channel, Black Velvet, Easter Bonnet
and you're making the scene
C
Dark little dungeons
It's Fante's LA
G
Nothing's changed in 90 years
on 9th and Grand but quakes and tears
F
Angels Flight's back now, and Underground
C
Memories of boxers are jogged as you walk by
take on all attention
F
and your drink is waiting for you
in your place by the bar
G
maybe, baby, once was a star
Plush Lush
enigmatic vintage
planting quite a visage
hope that want you wanted
s'here in my memories
Plush Lush
never shared her story
only left her shadow
whispers and surmising
sparked the talk through the night
